Philosophers and Einstein's Relativity : The Early Philosophical Reception of the Relativistic Revolution, Hardback Book

Philosophers and Einstein's Relativity : The Early Philosophical Reception of the Relativistic Revolution Hardback

Edited by Chiara Russo Krauss, Luigi Laino

Part of the Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science series

Hardback

Description

This book offers an up-to-date insight into the early philosophical debate on Einsteinian relativity.

The essays explore the reception and interpretation of Einstein’s ideas by some of the most important philosophical schools of the time, such as logical positivism (Reichenbach), neo-Kantianism (Cassirer, Natorp), critical realism (Sellars), and radical empiricism (Mach).

The book is aimed at physicists and historians of science researching the epistemological implications of the theory of relativity, as well as to scholars in philosophy interested in understanding how leading philosophical figures of the early twentieth century reacted to the relativistic revolution.
